The Cherry Amaretto Sour is a bold, flavorful spin on a classic sour, built around the rich pairing of bourbon and amaretto – just in time for National Amaretto Day (April 19).
With a base of smooth bourbon whiskey and sweet, nutty amaretto, this cocktail gets its bright edge from fresh lemon and real cherry juice. The balance of sweet and sour is rounded out with a velvety egg white foam, giving it that signature creamy finish. And last but not least, a single Luxardo cherry garnish adds a touch of elegance and a hint of old-school charm.
Served in a chilled Nick and Nora glass, the Cherry Amaretto Sour is as visually stunning as it is delicious. It’s a crowd-pleasing cocktail with year-round appeal, perfect for festive gatherings or a cozy night in.
Muddle a handful of fresh or frozen cherries and strain into your Hybrid Cocktail Shaker filled with ice. Use enough cherries to yield about ½ oz. of juice.
Add all of the other ingredients and shake for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a chilled Nick and Nora glass.
